Our Vision for Children Vision helps children reach developmental milestones, connect with loved ones and understand the world around them. The University Eye Center’s pediatric service is staffed by nationally recognized, residency-trained specialists, many of whom are actively engaged in clinical research. It is one of few facilities in the New York City metropolitan area dedicated to providing comprehensive vision care for children from infancy through adolescence. A $2.5M investment will ensure that the College will have a pediatric service unlike any other in the nation. Plans for a new Center for Pediatric Eye Care are well underway with construction expected to begin in mid-2018. The Optometric Center of New York’s Our Vision for Children fundraising effort in support of the Center is now nearing $2M with the help of a $1.5M grant from the State of New York. The new Center will consolidate clinical services in 3,500 sq. ft. of the College’s 10th floor to more conveniently and efficiently accommodate the growing number of children requiring basic and advanced eye care, including low vision, vision rehabilitation and special populations, and infants and children with special needs and learning disabilities. There will be eight new exam rooms, a “quiet room” for children with special needs and their families and a child-friendly waiting area that will be bright and cheerful, with interactive activities. We appreciate the generosity of our alumni, faculty, trustees, staff, friends and parents, which will help expand the capacity of the pediatric service, advance quality of care and furnish the spaces with diagnostic and treatment technology tailored for our youngest patients.* Karl P.
